CNC Horizontal Machining Centers

Used Kitamura Mycenter-3Xi: Sell or Buy at Auction

Kitamura is a Japanese precision machine tool builder specializing in high-accuracy horizontal machining centers and vertical machining centers. Known for superior spindle quality and rigid construction, Kitamura machines are a preferred choice in aerospace, die and mold, and precision medical machining. The Mycenter series offers high-speed machining with exceptional thermal stability.

The Kitamura Mycenter-3Xi is a three-axis CNC vertical machining center built in Japan, made for shops that work to tenths rather than thousandths. It pairs the rigid, hand-scraped cast construction Kitamura built its name on with a 40-taper (CAT-40) spindle, a twin-arm automatic tool changer that holds around 30 tools, and roughly 30 by 18 by 18 inches of travel over a table rated near 1,100 pounds. That is a mid-size work envelope aimed at small and mid-size precision components rather than large fixtures, and depending on the build the spindle turns into the 10,000 to 15,000 rpm range. Precision machining shops, aerospace parts suppliers, and medical device, die, and mold makers seek this model out on the used market because its accuracy holds up cut after cut, often staying in service long after the shop that first bought it has moved on. When a used Kitamura Mycenter-3Xi comes up for sale, KD Auctions puts it in front of the specialized base within its 500,000+ industry contacts who already know the Mycenter name and do not need convincing that the spindle is still tight.
